Trigger warnings: drug use, drug overdose, sexual assault

I liked this book, even if I wasn't completely blown away by it. I wish it had been a little longer, to be honest. It was a lot of intense material in a relatively short book, and I don't know that I was ever able to fully connect with the story or characters.

That being said, I loved all the Greek mythology stuff and also the poetry. I guess I just wish that the stuff with Antigone had been more organically woven into the story.

I liked Andria and Alex, but I did feel like her switch from 'I hate this boy because he made my sister an addict' to 'I could see myself falling in love with this boy' was a little jarring. I wish there had been a little more to their relationship.

It looks like Natalie gets her own story, which I will read. I liked her character in this book and I'm interested to read her story.
